Que voulez-faire avec le français?

I have to answer this question for my French homework this week and it got me thinking....what would I like to do with the French? In this case it actually means the French language but today 'je pense que' it would be more appropriate to talk about French men.

I am going to confirm all your suspicions about French men - yes they are in fact all pretty damn handsome. Going into the centre of Paris is like walking on to the set of a Bridget Jones movie - Colin Firth's and Hugh Grant's are casually walking and lounging about everywhere. It has even been suggested that if you sit alone in Paris in one of the many parks within the city, it won't be long until one of these floppy haired strutting beauty's is sitting beside you. This hasn't happened to me yet so I clearly need to sit on a park bench alone for an hour or so and see what happens.
On the other hand a friend of mine who is currently also in France but down South has had the opposite experience of French 'gentleman.' She joined a French dating site after missing her guy mates back in the UK and perhaps in the hope of finding a floppy haired French boyfriend. When we were skype-ing today she explained very clearly that she was "going off the date site, 62 year old Uggo asked for tit pics." I kid you not, I was in stitches and couldn't breathe for laughing. Perhaps dating sites aren't the way to go in France...despite the success of them in other countries.

Either way my aim this month is to meet some more French guys, my French is gradually getting there so it's about time I make more of an effort 'a parle le français seulement.' Or let's be a bit more truthful...meet some Hugh's and Colin's.
